Solitaire 『 』

So what I get out of the first 5 minutes is that a bunch of alien races used earth to dump all their garbage

Charles Reimer

Just wanted to post my immediate reaction upon reading the title:

Charles Arthur

... Okay, someone needs to get Yahtzee to read the original bible for the series, cuz that (unused) origin is WILD and it won't take long to absorb all the WTF...

Jared

I was thinking you were asking Yahtzee to read the Bible, which also has some merit for a series like this.

Blenda

Where do we send the help to stop the beating?! Fantastic as always!

Cameron Gore

This is absolutely bananas and I love it. More please!

bluemage27034

Ooooohhhhh noooooooooo....This is gonna be great.

Lil' Cass (CJ)

"Sorry me, there's no escape that easy."🤣😂

Ali Almuhanna

Hahaha !! Oh this is gonna be good !!

Brian S

How does Yahtzee survive this nonsense?

Kruton

ooooh, playing with fire...

Xander

Love these. Still putting my vote in for Metal Gear next.

Jack

Why is Sonic the Hedgehog labeled “Part One?”

Kael Duranus

I love these. The lore of long-running series of games like these is like tangled spaghetti noodles sometimes, and its a joy to watch someone pick through it.

Jakob Hjorth Hansen

Can you do Resident Evil, or do you know it too well? (I have no friggin clue about that series...)

Lil' Cass (CJ)

By drinking vodka, having great colleagues to work with, and having a family: one of which is a facetious answer😛

Brian S

Ha! I have a feeling that I know the answer.

Kenneth D. Mohr

Wait, Yahtzee knows Babylon!? Sweet guy. Dank weed.

JoCo

Sonic lore needs to be banned by the Geneva convention

Anders

Does this include the Archie comics lore, or are you saving it for Part 27?

Lord Robert

Random fact about sonic lore i learned recently: Appearantly as of the newest canon of the spnic universe the concept of money doesnt exist. There still are casinos, modern society and all that but appearntly money isnt a thing.

Matthew Schaap

Ah, yes. What couldn't go wrong with this.

icedkocha

Light Gaia and Dark Gaia...? Is this Sonic lore or Terranigma lore?

Ian Rupar

I guess the beatings will continue until moral improves :)

Shua

I feel like Kirby would be good to do. That Series has some strange lore.

Robert Middleton

That would be a good one if they timed it with the release of RE: Requiem.

Gershwin

If you want a game with lore, lots and lots of lore, take a look at the Marathon story/lore. That's pretty awesome and detailed. Probably a bit niche though to make a full video on.

Stephen Daniel

The totally off the wall lore of Guilty Gear would be fun to see.

GriffinPilgrim

It would be unfair to make Yahtzee read that, after he specifically said he thinks it would ruin his distant enjoyment of the series.

Devin S

This is incorrect. Licensed Sonic material as a rule is not supposed to /depict/ currency due to weirdness over how it interacts with the giant floating gold rings and jewels all over the place. Money still exists, the Chaotix are always behind on their rent, /someone/ is losing money in those casinos (the ones that aren't just Robotnik traps), it's just not really shown.

Devin S

I was ready to get annoyed at this, but other than some minor typos and outdated stuff from manuals (and odd omissions. Fang was in like three games before Superstars!), it seems Eric did his homework pretty alright.

Sonic Boom

Wonder if he'll read up on Chronicles or not, considering a certain "pendering" douchebag forced Sega to declare it noncanon
